I Refuse To Become Scumbag In Tokyo
Ch - 184: Railroad Crossing

"Ms." Nana nodded and said, "I invited Saki-senpai to date you yesterday."

"....."

It was as if a large stone thrown earlier did not fall in stagnant water but rather a trampoline, thus bouncing back.

Shishio was at a loss for words when Nana's reaction was too unexpected back then.

Nana was amused by Shishio's expression and said, "What surprised you? You have confessed to me before, so I confess to you now. So that's fair, right?"

"...That's fair, but is it so easy for you to make such a decision?" Shishio asked while looking at Nana's expression, wondering what's wrong with this girl.

"It wasn't easy." Nana shook her head, looked at him, and said, "I mean, is there a girl who wants to share a man with another girl? No, right? But back then, my head was dizzy, my body was hot, and I just didn't want to lose you, so I made such a decision in an instant."

Listening to Nana's words, Shishio, who was walking slowly, thought hard, wondering why she loved him so much.

"So what did Saki-senpai say about the relationship between the three of us?" ask Nana.

"He's fine with that" Shishio replied.

"Let's go on a date, the three of us together," Nana said without hesitation.

"....." Shishio's.

Nana smiled and was amused by Shishio's reaction.

"What are you gawking at? Isn't it nice that you can date both of us?"

"It's so sudden that I'm not sure how to react." Shishio stopped and said, "Can you rub my temple for a moment?"

"I don't mind." Nana rubbed Shishio's temple with her hands gently and asked, "How is it?"

"It feels better." Shishio took a deep breath, regained his composure, and asked, "May I ask you something?"

"What?" ask Nana.

"Can you really make a decision in a hurry?" Shishio asked with a serious expression.

Nana shook her head and said, "I didn't make a decision in a hurry. I've thought about it over and over again after you confessed to me in the hospital before. I've made the decision to date you. with Saki, so don't regret my decision, okay?"

"...."

Shishio looked at Nana and asked, "What makes you love me so much?" She wondered what made her love him so much that he could accept his relationship with another girl.

"Well, first, it's your face" said Nana.

"....." Shishio's.

Shishio raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is that alright?"

"I. I think that appearance is important too!" Nana's a little confused.

"I understand...?" Shishio is also not a hypocrite, and he also knows that appearance is very important, given how waifu is a beautiful girl.

If the waifu were ugly and fat, he was sure that no one would buy the figure or merchandise of the waifu.

Although the reason may seem superficial, everyone likes beautiful things, so she feels Nana's reason is quite normal, but she feels it's not enough because she's dating two girls at once, not one girl.

"In addition to your face, your intelligence is also your advantage, and after I stay with you, I learn how much fun it is to be next to you" Nana said.

"What if I get a big burn on my face, and it really changes my appearance? Or what if my grades go down?" Shishio asked.

"Hmm. Your face will be regrettable, but I'm sure I'll still love you." Nana who was being carried stared at the scenery around while talking.

"Your grades don't have to be your best or anything, but I'd be disappointed if you let it down with no intention of fixing it. I don't know if I'll still love you or not, but I can't imagine you'll let your value go down permanently."

"Well, that's right." Shishio nodded.

"Loving someone doesn't mean you disagree with the change, but it doesn't mean you have to be okay with the change." Nana looked straight into Shishio's eyes and said, "How should I say it. It is a belief that the person will remain true to what made you fall in love with them from the beginning. Love is an expression of trust, I guess."

The railway crossing was closed, Shishio stopped and looked at Nana in a daze as he did not expect her to say such a deep sentence, but hearing her true feelings, it became more difficult for her to accept it quickly.

"But I betrayed you, didn't I?" Shishio.

"Yes, I was hurt, but you confessed to me back then, and I'm glad you were able to be honest with me back then" Nana said with a faint smile.

"..."

Seeing the doubt on her face, Nana sighed and said, "Can you be happy? I can accept your relationship with another girl. I'm sure any man would be happy if they were in your position."

"I'm happy, but if I'm happy at the expense of your feelings, and it makes you kill your emotions so we can be together, then we'd better be apart for a while," shishio said without hesitation as the more he listened, the more painful it became.

As before, she only wanted to hear her true feelings, not beautiful words to hide her true feelings.

"Why are you so troublesome, and can't you just take it for granted?" ask Nana.

"Yes, I'm happy, but why are you crying now?" Shishio asked.

"I - I'm not crying!" Nana wiped away the tears from her eyes, but the more she wiped, the more water dripped from her eyes.

"Huh? Why not stop? Just stop!" But then a warm palm patted his head gently.

He closed his eyes, clutched his hands on his chest, and brought his head closer towards him.

He knew that this man was a bastard, but he could not stop falling in love with him.

Looking at the crying Nana, Shishio knew that he was very lucky to meet such a girl in his life.

Perhaps they were lucky this time because they stopped at the railway crossing because the sound of traffic lights hid his cries, which allowed him to let go of all his emotions without worry.

After a while, Nana calmed herself down, and she wiped the tears and snot on her face with Shishio's blazer.

Fortunately, she wasn't wearing makeup right now because there was a gym class, or she was sure her tears would ruin her makeup.

"...." - ".Shishio's.

"You're not gonna apologize?" ask Nana.

"I'm not." Shishio shook his head.

"Why?" ask Nana.

"If I apologize, it means I have regretted my actions, and I never regret my actions." Shishio looked at Nana and said, "I want you, Nana." He was very selfish, but he was like this, and he would not let go of the girl in his arms.

"....."

"Can you throw Saki-senpai away for me?" ask Nana.

"No."

"Will you dump me for Saki-senpai?" ask Nana.

"No."

"Say, do you love me?" ask Nana.

"No."

"...."

"Then why did you confess to me?!" Nana was very angry at that moment.

"I mean, I may not be in love with you right now, but that doesn't mean I won't fall in love with you in the future" Shishio said.

"What if you don't fall in love with me in the future?" asked Nana with a frown.

"Don't worry. I will definitely fall in love with you," Shishio said as he looked into Nana's eyes.

"..." - ".Nana's face flushed.

"As you said before, love is a symbol of trust, so can you trust me that I will fall in love with you in the future?" Shishio asked.

"...But you have two girls, so you're gonna fall in love with two girls?" ask Nana.

"Ms." Shishio nodded.

"...You know, you're very complicated" Nana said with a sigh.

"Are you disappointed now?" Shishio asked with a smile.

"No, I don't think it's too bad to know you any further." Nana then brought her head closer and kissed her lips.

For some reason, the place they kiss is always unique.

Their first kiss was in the infirmary where antiseptic smells were everywhere, as for their second kiss, they were kissing at the railway crossing where the sound of passing trains, was, the annoying sound of traffic lights, and the smell of dust flying from the carriage mixed together, which made their kisses give off a very complex feeling.

Along with the sound of the carriage, it made them feel like the world was moving in slow motion, as if their perception of time had slowed down, so even though it was only a moment, it was a moment, they felt like they had been kissing for a long time.

As the carriage passed by, Nana opened her lips and took a deep breath.

He had to admit that kissing her was fun.

His eyes blurred, and his breathing was rather heavy.

He could still feel his heart beating so fast at this moment because he could not believe what he had just done.

She then put her head on her chest, feeling comfortable and safe, which might be the reason why she fell in love with him because he was so reliable.

He lifted his eyes up and asked, "Say, so we're dating now?"

"It seems like it is, indeed" Shishio said with a smile.

"Hmm, not bad, only if I'm the only girl in this relationship" Nana said.

"...."

Nana looked at Shishio with a smile and said, "Say, Shishio."

"Hmm?"

"Stay with me, okay?"

"okay."

"Don't hate me, okay?"

"okay."

Nana looked at her feet and said, "When my legs have improved, can I go home together holding hands?"

"Why not?" Shishio said with a smile.

Nana curled up in her chest with a smile, hugging her as if afraid of losing her.

Shishio continues his journey and walks towards Nana's house.

The distance from Nana's house to Suimei was not much different from Sakurasou.

However, they were in different directions, which caused the distance between Nana and Sakurasou' house to be very far.

As things go, the relationship between the two has returned, or it may become closer, they may not realize, or they don't really care because just staying together already makes them smile.

Soon, they arrive at Nana's house.

Shishio helps her fully in because her mother is not strong enough to hold Nana.

She then placed Nana on the sofa in the living room then wiped the non-existence sweat on her forehead.

"Sorry to trouble you, Oga-kun," Nana's mother said and thought Nana had troubled Shishio since Shishio held Nana, all the way from school.

"Do you need a drink or something?"

"No, it's okay, after all he's my girlfriend," Shishio said briefly.

"..." - ".Nana's mother was stunned then looked at her daughter in surprise.

Nana was also dumbfounded.

His face turned red, but he also nodded.

"...." Nana's mother.

Nana's mother rubbed her temple and said, "Somehow, I feel complicated now. Well, anyway, do you want to stay here for a while? My husband might be back soon." He looked at Shishio with a smile at that moment, but somehow this smile was a bit strange.

Shishio tried to maintain his composure, though, but it was impossible because she did not expect that she would meet Nana's father so quickly and wondered if her father would turn the table while shouting that he would not give his daughter to her.

"I won't give you my daughter!"

Shishio shook his head and said, "Well, I have something to do today, so I'll excuse me."

"Huh? You're not staying, Shishio?" Nana asked and did not expect Shishio to refuse.

"Well, I can visit your house anytime, is that okay?" Shishio asked as he looked at Nana's mother.

"It's okay." Mother Nana nodded and did not think too much.

"I'm sure my husband would love to see you."

'Think?' Shishio somehow hesitated at that moment. "Then I'll come back first."

"Wait, I want to be with you." Nana stood up slowly and wanted to stay with him for as long as possible because they had just confirmed their relationship.

Shishio quickly reached Nana and helped her up.

"But it's not necessary."

"It's okay. I'm doing this because I want to" Nana said with a smile.

"Is that so?" Shishio smiled then helped her walk to accompany her walking out of her house.

Looking at Nana and Shishio, Nana's mother somehow felt somewhat complicated.

After all, she didn't expect her daughter to have a boyfriend so suddenly, did she?

---

At the entrance of Nana's house, Shishio stopped and looked at Nana.

"So what are you going to do?" ask Nana.

"Well, I'm going to modify the bike a little bit" Shishio said.

"Oh really?" Nana's surprised.

"I will show it to you in the future" Shishio said.

"But I want to go with you..." Nana looked at her ankle and felt depressed.

"Well, I can show it anytime in the future, right?" Shishio said with a smile.

"That's right." Nana was smiling too.

Shishio stared at Nana for a bit before he picked up Nana's lips again, stroking her long white blonde hair before reluctantly parting from her.

"I'll be back now. See you tomorrow."

"Ah, um..." Nana's face was extremely red, and when she saw the door shut, she fell to the ground before rolling around while covering her face with both hands. "Yahoo!"

"Huh? Nana, what's wrong?" Nana's mother was shocked when she heard Nana yelling "yahoo" so suddenly.

"No - Nothing!" Nana quickly answered and lay down on the floor of her house, staring at the ceiling, wondering if she was dreaming, but she could still feel a warm feeling on her lips and knew that she was not dreaming.

'Shishio ...' Tracing her footsteps on her lips, she thought about it, and somehow she couldn't wait to see it again tomorrow.

Then, rolling on the ground again, his ankles hit the wall, which jolted him.

"Ikeh ikeh!" She held onto her ankle and felt better, but then she was stunned when she saw her mother looking at her strangely.

"...What are you doing?" Nana's mother asked and wondered if her daughter's head was hit by something.

"....."

Somehow there is an awkward moment between a daughter and a mother, but let's put that aside because Nana is so happy because they will be together from now on.
